Again, I thank Senator Paterson. The Prime Minister's visits to Singapore and the G7-plus meetings have been shown to produce important outcomes and the benefits of collaboration with key partners. Australia will provide at least 20 million COVID-19 vaccine doses to boost access in developing countries, and we've signed partnerships on low-emissions technology investment with Singapore, Japan and Germany. The Prime Minister's discussions and my own with G7-plus foreign and development ministers last month and also in Geneva and Washington have reinforced the aligned approaches of like-minded nations on issues such as open markets, political freedoms, human rights and global recovery from COVID-19. In addition, the Prime Minister and I and Minister Seselja have also been able to visit our close friend and neighbour New Zealand to underscore our shared commitment to working together on our region's health, security and economic interests.
